About
I am a graduate of University College Cork, Ireland, where I completed my doctoral studies as a Government of Ireland scholar. I joined the School of Law at the University of Aberdeen in 2007. I publish widely in the areas of criminal justice, criminal procedure, penal populism, and on legal responses to organised crime. I teach criminal law, evidence, and criminology, and teach annually in the Aberdeen Summer School for US law students.
I am a regular participant at international conferences, and have given guest lectures in Ireland and the UK. In summer 2009 I was visiting lecturer at the University of Baltimore and the University of Maryland.
My current research examines gun crime in Ireland and critiques the legal means adopted by the Irish state in seeking to counter this phenomenon. I am carrying out this research with funding from the Carnegie Trust.
